I had the chance to try the classic deep dish pizza as well as another incredible classic\u2026.spaghetti and meatballs (mom\u2019s style)! AMAZING and delicious!<\/p>\n<p>The little pizza shop is located in a perfect area on 30<sup>th<\/sup> avenue between 24<sup>th<\/sup> and 26<sup>th<\/sup> streets.\u00a0 In my opinion the location is beyond perfect and allows the community of Playa del Carmen expats (living off the 5<sup>th<\/sup> avenue) the chance to have a high quality, fantastically priced, 5<sup>th<\/sup> avenue worthy meal, very close to home, and in the center of town!<\/p>\n<p>I would like to use this as an example to highlight that the expat community in Playa del Carmen is absolutely growing, thus making more room for American or foreign run businesses to take off and be successful.<br \/>\nThere is also more opportunity for expats to make a small business because there is true demand from consumers.\u00a0 We love Mexico and all it has to offer but we also love when we can find something familiar and close to our hearts!<\/p>\n<p>Something unique that I find from talking to many Americans and Canadians, moving or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/playadelcarmen-real-estate\/retire-playadelcarmen.php\">retiring in Playa del Carmen<\/a>, is the desire to come here and run a simple business!\u00a0 Even those who are retiring are looking for something to do!<\/p>\n<p>Many people have worked for years in fast paced careers or big business and would love to finally get the chance to be their own boss, earn a little cash and become part of the Playa del Carmen community! Opening a business is also a great way to meet new people and get to know other Playa del Carmen expats!<\/p>\n<p>If you are thinking about moving to Playa del Carmen and would like more information about what\u2019s going on around town keep up with our blog or visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topmexicorealestate\">Top Mexico Real Estate Facebook Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Expats, long time vacationers, and snowbirds, I am pleased to announce Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza in Playa del Carmen!&nbsp; We already know that Playa del Carmen has a wide array of international and national food choices, which only &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/lets-retire-in-mexico\/2013\/12\/livin-playa-big-slice-chicago-playa-del-carmen\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[377,34,349],"tags":[77,248,157,94,96,336],"class_list":["post-1942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-downtown","category-living-in-mexico","category-restaurants","tag-downtown-playa","tag-expats","tag-lifestyle","tag-living-in-playa-del-carmen","tag-owning-a-business-in-mexico","tag-restaurants-and-cafes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Playa del Carmen expats are raving about Don Chendo&#039;s Deep Dish Pizza!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The community of Playa del Carmen expats is growing.
